Made in America\u2026<\/h2>\n

Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar<\/a> manufacturer, and high-performance vehicle creator, has unveiled a new, lighter-weight, track-focused version of the Hennessey Venom F5 that has been comprehensively re-engineered for increased agility, uncompromised handling, and high downforce. The new Venom F5 Revolution Coupe is an apex predator on a racing circuit \u2013 it is the most powerful and visceral pure-combustion hypercar in the world. Based on the Hennessey Venom F5 Coupe \u2013 the two share nearly identical DNA \u2013 yet distinguishing the Revolution Coupe from its sibling are its comprehensively reworked aerodynamics, suspension, engine cooling, and digital telemetry. The engineering team also focused on reducing mass. Thanks to a systematic focus on weight reduction, the race-honed model tips the scales below 3,000 pounds \u2013 it is the lightest Venom F5 model.<\/p>\n

    Meet John \u2018Heinrocket\u2019 Heinricy, chief engineer:<\/h3>\n

    Honed by Chief Engineer John \u2018Heinrocket\u2019 Heinricy, the Revolution capitalizes on every bit of his 38 years of performance car development with GM and his exemplary racing career: \u201cI led engineering on some of the most extreme cars to come out of GM, including the Corvette Z06 and Cadillac CTS-V, but nothing compares to designing, developing, and refining a race car for the road like the Venom F5 Revolution. From the outset, we designed the Venom F5 hypercar to be ultra-light and monstrously powerful, with dynamics to match.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Chassis Design:<\/h3>\n

    Mirroring all other Venom F5 models, mid-mounted in the carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is Hennessey\u2019s celebrated twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, \u2018Fury\u2019 V8 engine rated at an astonishing 1,817 bhp. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a robust automated single-clutch gearbox calibrated for competitive use. With such low mass, the Venom F5 Revolution Coupe promises phenomenal acceleration. Carbon-ceramic brakes are fitted as standard and feature muti-piston calipers, ensuring fade-free stopping power on the road or circuit.<\/p>\n

    Aerodynamics:<\/h3>\n

    Most visible to passers-by is the Revolution Coupe\u2019s full-width rear-mounted carbon fiber wing. The adjustable appendage (that allows the owner to adjust the angle of attack through a range of degrees) is fitted with end plates that stop the high-pressure air on top of the wing from spilling underneath \u2013 increasing downforce without extending the width of the wing. The end plates also generate vortexes that guide airflow and improve aerodynamics and stability. As a result, the rear wing delivers more than 800 pounds of downforce at 186 mph (300 km\/h) and over 1,400 pounds of downforce at 249 mph (400 km\/h).<\/p>\n

    A significantly larger front splitter, crafted from carbon fiber, complements the rear-mounted wing and rear diffuser. The front splitter prevents air from flowing under the F5 Revolution Coupe, which creates a low-pressure vortex beneath the vehicle (aiding downforce). At the same time, the extended rear diffuser guides air out from the hypercar\u2019s smooth underbelly. Dive planes, positioned on the front fascia in front of the wheels, aggressively channel airflow to shift the aerodynamic balance forward \u2013 adding grip to improve turn-in. In addition, the Revolution features a new roof-mounted central air scoop that delivers fresh cool air to the F5\u2019s engine bay, which effectively helps lower component temperatures.<\/p>\n

    Track Day Ready:<\/h3>\n

    The double-wishbone suspension, with more aggressive alignment settings, is fitted with adjustable dampers that may be calibrated trackside with simple tools \u2013 thus optimizing the suspension system for the particular road course, racing circuit, or track. In addition, new forged alloy wheels present a larger contact patch for improved cornering grip and enhanced braking. Lastly, Venom F5 Revolution owners are offered a digital on-board track telemetry system capable of measuring an array of data points. These include lap times, splits, cornering G-forces, and more. The system allows the driver to monitor the telemetry in real time, or the data may be saved for later analysis or archiving.<\/p>\n

    Hennessey\u2019s celebrated twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, \u2018Fury\u2019 V8 engine rated at an astonishing 1,817 bhp. Is it enough? \u00a9 2023 Hennessey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    John Hennessey, company founder and CEO:<\/h3>\n

    Hennessey\u2019s CEO commented, “The new Venom F5 Revolution Coupe combines our outstanding 1,817 bhp V8 \u2018Fury\u2019 combustion engine with our lightest and most capable chassis. The hypercar, which is astoundingly fast, is at home on a racing circuit where utmost handling is paramount \u2013 it offers the nimbleness of a fighter jet, yet with a powerplant like a Saturn V rocket!”<\/p>\n

    Production Run of 24:<\/h3>\n

    The Revolution Coupe is the third model to join the Venom F5 family. Each of the 1,817 bhp variants shares the same decathlete mission \u2013 uncompromised acceleration, braking, and handling \u2013 yet all have been individually engineered for a specific mission. The F5 Coupe targets ultimate top speed, while the open-roof F5 Roadster delivers the most visceral experience. The new F5 Revolution Coupe dials track performance to an entirely new level. The new Venom F5 Revolution Coupe will make its global debut at the Miami Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d’Elegance on January 15, 2023. Priced at $2.7 million and limited to just 24 units, exclusivity is a given (in advance of the official release, many of the Revolution models have already been sold to passionate hypercar fans).<\/p>\n
